On ANOTHER gage is published COM
munication from 'rSAlOouist" in which
he eriticises very Justly some statements
that have recently appeared in the In
tslfqeaeer in regard 10 the constitution
atty of the Police and Fire Board Ordi-
nance. ''SaloOnist," however, is rather
unjust to the Supreme Court. That body
simply stood on firm Democratic ground
in unfolding the Constitution in deciding
the act Of 1878 unconstitutional, and hence
that Judge JACOBS decision that the
Police and Fire Board ordinance
was unconstitutional under this act,
was void. The constitutiOuaiity or
unconstitutionality of the Police and
Fire Board ordinance itself was not passed
upon by the Supreme Court or considered
by them in any way. Itwas not possible,
in fact, for the Supreme Court TO have
considered the ordinance as it il not the
rule OF any Court 10 considera natter that

4 POSSIBLE FRENCH PRESIDENT.

y Z
There are almost as many candidates tor
the Presidency of the French Republic as
there are candidates for the nomination OF
the Republican party in this blessed cOun-
try. Prince NAPOLEON is among the
number. His recent letter iutimating that
"BAIKIs is within" created no surprise.
He Is the son of JEROME, the great NAPO-
Icons Youngest brother, and has been
conspicuous, hut unpopular, in French
politics for two generations. He was
marpIot during LOUIS NAPOLEOS's reign.
His unpopularity is principally due to the
fact that the people suspect him Of cow
ardice, he having resigned an Important
command in the Crimean war at critical
moment.
Since the establishment of the Republic
he has been the recognized leader of the
Bonapartists, although his unpOpularity
has kept him in the background while the
Count Of PARIS has come to the front in
the Bourbon cause.
Should the Republican party in this
crisis 20 to pieces in the Chamber of Depu-
ties on the election of GREvY's successor,
which is not at all improbable judging the
present by the past the magic name of
BONAPARTE would he a strong rallying
cry.
Prince NAPOLEON expresses himself in
favor of u republic, but the devil would
express himself IN favor of Christianity
under the same conditions. His cousin
NAPOLEON Ill, was Republican until he
succeeded in firmly establishing himself
Then he made himself dictator, broke up
the national parliament, and had the en-
pire restored by q sham election at which
the bayonets OF his troops overawed the peo-
pie.
There is not much ueed to fear that
Prince NAPOLEoN will have a chance to
play the same sharp game, but it is well
enough for French Republicans TO keep
him under the ban. Stranger things than
the landing of Prince NAPOLEON on the
lofty summit of power which he has so
long coveted, have happened, especially in
France where the unexpected seems
always to happen. Lightheaded France
has need to keep her wits about her.

GOSPEL TRTTH.

The New York San gets right down to
the plain unaduiterated facts of the case
when it says in answer to the questions:
Shall the Democracy remain united?-
Shall the United Democracy win? These
questions now possess serious meaning,
and the tremendous efforts that are making
in various quarters, and even in the
bosom of the Democratic party itself, to
disrupt and divide the Democracy, may
we'll excite alarm and dull the hopes that
have arisen in consequence Of the glorious
result Of union and enthusiasm here in
New York.
at Is proposed with great earuestness by
men like HENRY WATTERsON and Will
LIAM D0RSHEISIER, and by a crowd Of
lesser statesmen and newspapers, Mug
wump and Democratic, that Mr.. RANDALL
shall be degraded in Congress, and that a
revenue reform bill Of free trade nature
shall he introduced a. the exclusive I'M
compromising ultimatum and platform Of
modern Democratic craftsmanship.
''It is not supposed by any one, not even
by the most exalted free trade theorist,
that such = bill can be passed. Every
body knows that the Senate has to be con-
suited as to the reduction Of the revenue,
and that the principle Of protection will
certainly be maintained in that House. To
reduce taxation is indispensable, but no
body pretends to expect that it can be
accomplished on the free trade basis.
What is intended by these ardent planners
of Democratic division and disunity, is
nothing but political msDeuyre, and its
purpose is to place the Democratic party,
minus the prOtectiOnist wing which is to
be expelled, or at least sent down to feed
at the second table, upon position look
ing squarely in the direction of free trade,
and to make this the decisive issue in the
contest Of next year.
'sThis is discord; it is impotence; it is
defeat; and we appeal to all leyel-headed
and, cool-blooded Democrats to interfere
aud prevent the disaster, In unity there

1. strength and victory; in division there is

Is strength and victory; in division there Is
hopeless calamity and outer darkness"
From recent glance over the situation
we see an increasing desire for harmony in
the Democratic party on the tariff question
and NO revenue measure will be offered in
the next House that has not the endorse
ments of both Mr.. RANDALL and Mr..
CARLISLE; nevertheless there is pure,
gospel truth in the SuR's words, and the
Democracy will do well TO keep them in
view.

The San Francisco Chronicle of yesterday
says: Mrs. Hoffman, who is the wife of
Sacramento shoemaker. was brought to the
city last evening by detective Dan. Coffey
and lodged in the city prison, where a
charge of grand larceny, preferred by NJ
Gardiner, was placed against her name
Gardiner, who was formerly steward on the
yacht Lurline, while cruising about Sacra-
mento, met the woman, who is not at all
prepossessing still Gardiner became enam
cred of her charms, such as they are, and
while her husband was absent from home
the ex-steWard induced her to fly with him
to this city. She flew, and the weeks sped
by and the couple had no regret, but billed
and cooed like two turtle doves. Gardiner
was greatly in love, judging from the man.
ner in which he lavished money upon the
woman. He decked her out in Jewels and
fine clothes, and gave her carte blanche on
Solomons jewelry store at 80 Steuart street.
Thither she often hied and drew five or
ten-dollar piece when she thought she
needed it.
But all things must have an end, and the
short honeymoon was no exception TO the
rule. Mrs. Hoffman finally tired of her
paramour, and collecting some of his per-
sonal effects, she made another call at Solo
mons, from whom she received So and
sped to Sacramento, taking with her her
lovers clothes, to patch up peace. She was
received with open arms by her husband.
Gardiner mentioned the matter TO the
police who looked it up, and soon the fair
creature was traced to her husbands home,
from the shelter of which she was rUdely
torn by the police of Sacramento and
handed over TO the San Francisco authori-
ties

Good Sense and Suggestions.
EDS. REcoRD-U UNION: In your issue of
this morning it is stated that the appro-
priation for a public building in this city
will not be available until the Legislature
shall cede jurisdiction over the lot to the
United States. This is true under the law
as it stands. Congress, however, has some
times waived this condition, or extended it
until the Legislature could act, and would
no doubt in this instance, if attention
should be called TO it. am quite sure such
provision was inserted in the bill making
an appropriation for public building at
Denver. / know it passed the Senate. In
the debate, remember that Senator Hoar
commented upon the Improperly of re-
quiring cession of jurisdiction in any
such case, saying it established little AL
Eatias where the process of the State would
not run.
AS 1t is now, if man should commit
any crime. from murder to petty larceny, in
a public building belong to the United
States, he cannot be tried in State Court
If he commit crime anywhere, and take
refuge in such a building, he cannot be
legally arrested by State officer SO long as
he can hold that fort
The absurdity of the provision is mani
fest, yet it is regularly inserted in every ap-
preparation for public building.
conjecture it was originally designed as
matter of abundant precaution to prevent
the States from taxing the property of the
General Government. If so, it has long
survived It's usefulness. Your obedient

revelation of remarkable progress.

Shortly after l o'clock this morning q
rousing fire alarm was sent in from box G.,
at Nineteenth and L streets. The north
wind was blowing quite gale, and soon
the sky in the southeastern part of the city

The fire, it appears, was in Gebert's
Union Brewery, at Twentieth aud o

to press the reporters had not reached the
